the sad accident last weekend was not a continuation of a trend, but just another incident that might occur when living human beings take an interest in the beauty of flight. Now we are to see the rabid hand of the senior civil servant all over the piece, ending many years of traditional enjoyment of open days and flying events.
I think there are many peoe who will disagree with the part of your post that I have highlighted smudger. It was not just another incident, and some of those who died were not taking an interest in the beauty of flight, they were just passers by. Those rabid civil servants that you refer to will be seeking to ensure that risks are assessed, eliminated, managed and where sensible, accepted. They will also be seeking to ensure that the risks that the different groups of people are exposed to are proportionate. Innocent passers by who have no interest in air displays will not be accepting of the same level of risk as the pilot enjoying his passion of fast jet aerobatics.

You might want to amend your post.
